Q: Why can't I get my servers to talk to each other when I attempt to add a standalone computer virtual machine (VM) to my domain VM in VirtualBox?

A: Check the following settings if you are having this problem.

Are your VMs' network adapters set to host-only?

Do all your VMs have the correct IP address?

Do all your VMs have the default gateway set to the same IP
address of the host-only adapter in your domain controller VM?

Is your DHCP server set up to manage the same IP address
range of the IP address you are attempting to manually enter into your standalone server's VM?
